Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Define a population job (optional)
The DDMI adapter comes out-of-the-box with the DDMI Population job, which runs the following predefined queries: hostDataImport, networkDataImport, printerDataImport, and Layer2DataImport. For details about these queries, see Predefined Queries for Population Jobs. This job runs according to a default schedule setting.
You can also create additional jobs. To do this, select the Population tab to define a population job that uses the integration point you defined in Define the DDMI integration. For details, see "New Integration Job/Edit Integration Job Dialog Box" in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Online Help.
-
Run the population job
Activate the population job in one of the following ways:
-
To immediately run a full population job, click . In a full population job, all appropriate data is transferred, without taking the last run of the population job into consideration.
-
To immediately run a differential population job, click . In a differential population job, the previous population time stamp is sent to DDMI, and DDMI returns changes from that time stamp to the present. These changes are then entered into the UCMDB database.
-
To schedule a differential population job to run at a later time or periodically, define a scheduled task. For details, see "Define Tasks that Are Activated on a Periodic Basis" in the Universal CMDB Administration section of the UCMDB Online Help.
